The presence of proteinuria is by far the strongest independent predictor that stroke patients undergoing cerebral angiography will experience contrast-induced acute kidney injury (AKI), according to research published online April 22, 2016, ahead of print in the Journal of NeuroInterventional Surgery…
Rapid deterioration of ischemic stroke patients, as measured by Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score (ASPECTS), during interhospital transfer means that nearly one-third lose eligibility for intra-arterial stroke therapy en route. The study authors view these findings…
Rapid, sustained, and intensive control of blood pressure (BP) translates to smaller hematoma growth among patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage and elevated systolic BP, according to a brief report published online May 3, 2016, ahead of print in Stroke…
